I have the following code on my website to play a video:

<object classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" width="640" height="480">
<param name="type" value="video/x-ms-wmv" />
<param name="URL" value="footballskills.wmv" />
<param name="uiMode" value="full" />
<param name="autoStart" value="true" />
<embed width="640" height="480" type="video/x-ms-wmv" src="footballskills.wmv" controls="ALL" loop="false" autostart="true"
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/" />
</object>

This video plays perfectly online using Firefox, and perfectly offline using IE. But when online in IE, it says connecting for a couple of seconds before just saying "ready". Pressing play then has no effect. Can anyone help by telling me what I need to do so this video plays online in Internet Explorer please.

Thanks!!

I don't see anythign obvious. Could you post a URL?

The video I have listed in the first post is located at: http://www.jrosworld.com/videos/uk/f...allskills.html

Thanks for the help.

Curious; must be something with your IE. I loaded the video just fine in IE 6 & 7, FF 2 & 3, and G-Chrome. The problem, whatever it is, isn't with your code (at least that's some good news, eh?).

Hmmm. Well at least that is good news. I've looked over my IE, & I can't see what could be wrong. But if it's working for other people, then I guess it doesn't really matter.

Thanks for your help!!!

Cool video.
